Just need to take a moment to be the proud mama here. All three of my girls raced yesterday: Kyle and Kelsey in the 10k and Rylee in the kids' mile. Times are:
Kyle, age 15: 1 hour 14 minutes
Kelsey, age 10: 1 hour 15 minutes
Rylee, age 6: 12 minutes and 31 seconds
I'm sooooo proud of them! They looked fantastic and, more than that, the affect TRIgirls has had on them is nothing less than AMAZING!! Derek ran with Kelsey and said that no fewer than 50 people said "Way to go TRIgirl!" and "Looking strong TRIgirl!" along the course. This was Kelsey's first race and she felt so supported and encouraged!! She even woke up this morning and asked if we could sign her up for the 5k next weekend!! I cannot express how happy and grateful I am that my children have been surrounded and influenced by such powerful and strong women! Because of this, they have learned ways to boost their confidence and I am sure they will grow into women who know they are strong and capable. And, I know they will know how to to help their sisters, daughters, grandmothers, friends and all other women to love themselves for their own "inner athlete" -- regardless of age or ability! Thank you to all the TRIgirls who have helped to shape my wonderful, special, amazing little girls!!

GREAT JOB Dambacher girls!

Huge congrats to Kyle, Kelsey and Rylee! They ROCKED Monument Avenue and are totally taking after their awesome parents!
It was awesome seeing the Dambacher girls on the course! You should be so proud!
Great job girls! It is hard to run a great race like that and still look sooooo cute!
Soooo Cool! And great times too, I might add. You set a great example for them Cyndi!
They are adorable in their TriGirl gear, just like Mommy! What an inspiration you are. My kids are doing the Power Sprint on May 31 - care to join us?
